Placeholder - the welcome trailer is being filmed. This slot goes live with the final cut.
This is not mental health training.
This is hardcore people-management capability - the EQ muscle that will carry your business through the next five to ten years alongside AI.
This is not: mental health first aid, a tick-box compliance session, sitting in a circle talking about feelings.
This is: retention, performance, culture, psychosocial risk: every one of them runs on how well you handle a hard conversation.
Nobody trained you for this part.
You became a leader because you were brilliant at the craft. Then the job changed.
Tap every line that sounds like your Monday
Avoiding the performance conversation you've been putting off for weeks
The senior stylist who's halfway out the door
You're the owner, the manager, the HR department and the shoulder to cry on - all before lunch
Your team brings you their problems, and nobody ever trained you what to do with them
You want to be respected as a leader, not just liked as a mate
You're carrying everyone else's load and quietly running on empty
If you tapped even two of those, you're exactly who this was built for.
Every one of those moments is a conversation. And conversations are a skill, not a personality trait.
If you tapped even two of those, you're exactly who this was built for.
Every one of those moments is a conversation. And conversations are a skill, not a personality trait.
Connection is the #1 predictor of team performance - and 69% of people have left a job to escape a manager.
Built for the people who lead people.
Carrying the business and the team
Running the floor and the culture
Leading teams that serve salons every day
Anyone whose Monday includes someone else's problems
This isn't for your whole team. It's for the person the team looks to.
ELSA-B: a clear, sequential model for emotionally complex conversations.
Start conversations that actually open people up
Connect so deeply they feel understood, not just heard
Respond like a pro when the stakes are high
Help people move forward without trying to “fix” them
Support others without burning out
A proven five-step framework shown to improve connection skills by up to 4x
Six Mondays. A visible journey.
Discover your primary connection mistake, rewire your understanding of the science of support, and delve into attachment style theory that opens your mind to how we rewire unhelpful instincts.
Learn the exact words, cues, and timing to build immediate trust - so your people feel safe enough to talk, and you’re ready to spot the signs that someone might be silently struggling.
Master evidence-based listening techniques that build psychological safety, emotional resonance, and meaningful rapport - even in high-pressure environments.
Know exactly what to do (and what not to do) when someone is in crisis. Learn to navigate risk, protect privacy, and confidently manage sensitive disclosures without overstepping.
Discover how to support others through challenge by coaching instead of rescuing - empowering them to take control while you guide with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
Let go of guilt, over-functioning, and blurred emotional lines. Learn how to be deeply caring and sustainably well - so you can keep showing up without losing yourself.
Sixty minutes live each Monday, 4:30pm Sydney time, with an optional half hour of open Q&A after.
Can't make one live? The replay lands next morning.

“The best professional learning I've ever done, by far”
The speaker your summit couldn't stop talking about.
Mitch Wallis is a psychology thought leader (Masters in Psychology, Columbia University), author of Real Conversations, and the keynote that headlined the AHC Leadership Summit 2026 at the Ivy Ballroom.
He has trained 10,000+ people across 200+ organisations on four continents - and gives most of his IP away free through his charity. This program is where the full method lives.
What leaders say.
The same training trusted by KPMG, Lendlease and Amex - rebuilt for the people who run salons.
“Mitch Wallis is the real deal. He is the definition of culture transformation.”
“We hired Mitch to move past just talking about technology and AI, to real connection and real conversations. Everyone was on the edge of their seats. It really paid off.”
“Mitch resonated in a way we hadn't been able to get through in the past.”
“Every single time he comes to speak, I have so many people running out to me telling me how great it was.”
Listen to the impact from business leaders on how it's changed their workplace culture
Exclusively for AHC members. That's the point.
This program isn't discounted for AHC members - it's reserved for them. If you're a member, your seat is waiting. If you're not, this is one more reason the membership pays for itself: join AHC, then take your seat.
Zero reasons to come back later.
The last five objections.
I'm not an AHC member - can I still join?
Membership is the door. Join AHC first, then grab your seat - most salons find the membership pays for itself well beyond this program.
What if I can't make a session live?
Every session is recorded and the replay lands the next morning. Life on the floor happens - you won't fall behind.
Is this a mental health course?
No. It's leadership training. You'll get better at the human conversations leadership actually involves - performance, retention, pressure, boundaries - without playing therapist to anyone.
Who should attend from my salon?
The people who lead people - owners, managers, and anyone your team looks to. It's deliberately not a whole-team program.
What arrives in the mail?
Mitch's book, the Series Workbook and the RC Pocket Guide, shipped to your door anywhere in Australia before week one.
Can I get an invoice for my business?
Yes - a tax invoice is issued automatically at checkout, and the ticket is $497 + GST.
What's the refund policy?
If you feel this isn't for you after session 1, we will refund 100% of your money back within 24 hours. No questions asked.
